Books on cultivating Multi-racial churches

These books deal with issues of interracial tension and bigotry for the purpose of finding reconciliation and integration of different ethnic groups. Cultural issues are not dealt with, rather issues of interracial tension and reconciliation, logistics, models of churches, diverse leadership, biblical principles of becoming one in Christ, etc. Anderson’s book provides a racial reconciliation survey and a 6 session reconciliation curriculum.

Resources to help immigrants integrate into our North American context

Bruce Sidebotham recommends two books by Stan Nussbaum.
1) *Why Are Americans Like That? A Visitor’s Guide to American Cultural Values and Expectations*
2)*American Cultural Baggage: How to Recognize and Deal with it*
The former is more for immigrants and the latter is more for Americans.

Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?...But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (Matthew 6:25, 33)
